WISDOM FOR THE DAY DEVOTIONAL
By Bishop Mike Okonkwo
MONDAY JUNE 22nd 2026
TOPIC: THIS IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO MANIFEST
“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” Romans 8:19 KJV
In many nations today, things may really look messed up; the economy, the marketplace, and the political arena. But do you realise that it is a set-up for the believer to shine? Do you realise that the trials and temptations that the enemy brings your way are a set-up by God to bring out the best in you? Can you imagine how Jesus would have reacted if He were here in the flesh?
“..The earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God’’. In other words, God is saying to you, “My son, my daughter, rather than join the world in crying over the problem, this is the time to manifest and show the world the way.”
You can choose to make a difference today wherever God has located you because you have what it takes. Everything you need to succeed has been given to you. So, go out there and conquer your world for the Kingdom. Go out there and make a formidable impact. You cannot fail.
I have come to challenge you today to rise from your comfort zone. In these days of competition, you cannot afford to just sit back and be content with harvesting cassava while others are digging for diamonds and platinum. You can no longer afford to play at the level of the mundane. This is the time to hear God’s voice so that you can leave the shallow waters and begin to get into the deep.
When you hear God’s voice, you can do the impossible. When Jesus commanded Peter to cast his net into the deep, he caught a great multitude of fish from the same place where he had hitherto caught nothing.
When you run with the Word of God, you will operate where others are backing out. God has spoken that in the year 2026, His blessings will overtake you. Believe it and hang in there! Don’t give up until your testimony manifests.
